These instructions are for performing authentication using only a computer, specifically for cases where the computer is equipped with biometric authentication (face or fingerprint recognition). You can check if your computer supports biometric authentication here: Okta Authentication Method Device Verification (Please access this link from the device you wish to check).
If your computer does not support biometric authentication, please follow the instructions below:
Note 1: MFA will not be activated unless you perform Step 2: "Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication" (during the period before the mandatory implementation date).
Once the mandatory implementation date has passed, MFA will become active regardless of the status of Step 2 (the setting value for "multi-factor authentication").
Staff members using administrative PCs should check the information on the intranet site (KIF4).
Note 2: Registering phone authentication when staying overseas (e.g., studying abroad)
Multiple phone numbers can be registered simultaneously, and international numbers can be specified. However, due to the specifications of the SMS/Voice authentication system used by Okta, authentication codes may not be delivered to phone numbers outside of Japan (+81). In such cases, the registration process will not be completed successfully.
If you do not receive an authentication code within approximately 3 minutes during registration, that phone number may not be compatible with SMS/Voice authentication. If this occurs, please ensure you register multiple alternative authentication factors to prepare for risks such as device malfunction or loss.
